Tomatillo Salsa or Salsa Verde

I have a special love for authentic Mexican food, which differs from much of what we are served at typical American style Mexican restaurants. I am not an expert at cooking Mexican cuisine but I do love to play in my kitchen with the amazing flavors they use. There is nothing better than homemade salsa and I made my first tomatillo salsa last week and it came out fantastic. You can use it as a dip with tortilla chips or add it to your favorite Mexican dishes.

So vibrant and fresh! I haven’t had proper salsa verde for a long time. I should have paid more attention to mi abuelita cooking every summer vacation in Mexico instead of running around at the beach! Mexican food in nyc is craptastic!

We were just having a conversation at work about making an authentic Mexican salsa. I can remember a co-worker saying that tomatillos is the only way to really make a good Mexican salsa or verde. I will have to share your post with her.

I have to say that once I had this version of salsa I was hooked. You would die if you saw how much I pour onto my rice and food when eating. Matter of fact I want it tonight for our dinner! I am a salsa addict too, lol! My dad’s fault when he brought chilies to our table as a youngster!

I made a tomatillo sauce a few months ago. I’ve had little experience making Mexican Food and while picking out my tomatillos I had a rather long conversation with several woman about how to pick a good tomatillo! It was fun and they were right, I made a delicious tomatillo sauce!
